A BILLIONAIRE businessman has sparked outrage after he gifted his one-year-old daughter a £500,000 custom pink Rolls-Royce for Father’s Day.
Jaw-dropping footage showed Dubai-based dad Satish Sanpal handing his toddler Isabella the keys to a Rolls-Royce Phantom – sending social media into a frenzy.
Sanpal, the founder of ANAX Developments who is originally from India, was seen making the extravagant gesture to his toddler alongside his wife Tabinda.
The astonishing clip also showed the metallic pink car’s decadent interior – its plush interior punctuated by pink and white leather chairs.
The swanky motor, which retails at half a million pounds but is likely to have cost Sanpal even more for the customisation, also boasted a fancy number plate reading: “CONGRATULATIONS Isabella.”
A personalised imprint next to each door revealed the car had been custom-built in the UK and specially shipped over, all for this one special occasion.
Inside, every seat was embroidered with the little girl’s initials, turning the ultra-pricey vehicle into a personalised throne on wheels.
In the viral footage, the family of three are seen arriving to an event space in their other lavish Rolls-Royce.
The outdoor decorations feature a huge teddy bear with flowers and colourful balloons.
A pink carpet is also laid out on the floor for the daughter and her parents to enter on.
When they get inside, two massive doors – with the girl’s initials “ISS” and her name written on it – slide open.
They reveal the ridiculously luxurious car surrounded by more balloons and another teddy bear.
Isabella – who will have to wait another 17 years to start using her new toy – is seen dancing happily along with staff in excitement following the revelation of her present.
The unbelievable footage sparked fury online, with many slamming the dad for the “unreasonable” gift.
One user said: “I understand that people can spend their money however they like, but it’s still sad seeing a toddler get a Rolls Royce when some charities have to beg for support.”
Another blasted the tycoon: “It’s a tacky and flashy display of wealth and just proves that money does not buy class.”
While a third commented: “What rubbish… the little girl would have been more happy at a water park or a joy ride in a mall.
“Shameless show offs.”
But others seemed pleased to see little Isabella’s infectious joy.
One user said: “Don’t get the hate. If I had that kind of money, I’d do the exact same thing.
“He’s earned it, worked hard for it, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting nice things for your family or showing it off a bit.”
And another backed him up by saying: “Oh wow, such a sweet gesture from her father she’s truly lucky!”
This is not the first time the Indian billionaire has gone all out for his daughter.
He threw her a jaw-dropping first birthday bash at one of Dubai’s most exclusive hotels in February.
The proud dad Sanpal hosted a lavish celebration at Atlantis The Royal, transforming the luxury venue into a winter wonderland complete with fake snow, icy chandeliers and frosted white trees.
The birthday girl, born in London on February 25 last year, made a grand entrance in a fairytale-style carriage, dressed in a sparkling ball gown.
Big-name Bollywood stars including Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Tamannaah Bhatia, Atif Aslam and Nora Fatehi were also flown in to perform at the glitzy do.
